I've always thought Hellsing could work in live-action. I wonder how much of the Nazi stuff they'll keep in?

I was going to ask which anime adaptation, but it seems like from the article it's based more from the manga.

These movies based on manga/anime are always a coin flip anyway. I'm at least hoping it looks cool and the action scenes are cool.

Let’s just hope that Alucard isn’t immediately replaced by Seras Victoria in the beginning of the film . I wouldn’t be surprised if they pull something like this.

I'd take a shot-for-shot adaption from Hellsing Ultimate. I'd prefer a limited series to cover the whole thing but maybe if the movie is successful we'll get more of the story. If they're doing a straight adaptation anyway.

Will need a huuuuuge budget. I am not optimistic for that reason alone.

Also how to do Anderson’s bayonets in live action without it looking ridiculous?

Not sure. They also need to find some very tall and imposing men too. Not sure there are many around these days who can also act.

Well at least the writer seems to be a huge fan but these anime adaptations are always shit.

Pretty much. This is a big one for me so hopefully, it doesn't suck.

Will Alucard be played by a Japanese guy for some reason?

I wouldn't be surprised. No reason for it other than wokeness. The majority of the cast is white af.
